Gender Selection

Gender selection is also known as sex selection, mainly used by prospective parents who choose to specify the sex of their unborn baby. Sometimes to avoid chromosomal or genetic disorders that are gender specific and other times when they have a strong desire to balance their family, they turn to sex selection.

PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis) is the most effective option available for gender selection. But as this practice is illegal in India, it is not possible to even request for PGD for gender selection as it is considered as a crime in the country and punishable as well.

As Indian Laws bans Gender Selection, we at New Life India not advocate it nor do it.
